Sovbit Nostr Services

Relay hosting, file storage, and identity services for the Nostr protocol — run by a bitcoiner who actually uses this stuff daily.

I care about privacy, and I want to be straight about what that means in practice. No data selling. Tor and I2P supported so you don't have to hand me your IP. I don't keep logs beyond what's needed to run the service. What I do have: an auth system that ties sessions to your pubkey, operational metrics, and a moderation queue for all media uploads. And like any relay operator, I can see the events you send — that's just how Nostr works. I'm not here to build a dossier on anyone, but I'm not going to pretend I'm running blind either.

Media uploads get reviewed. Nothing heavy-handed — just keeping out the stuff that would put me in a bad spot or make the service worse for everyone. The relay itself is pretty open; the file host is where I keep a closer eye.

New to Nostr?

Nostr is an open protocol for decentralized social networking. No company owns it, no algorithm decides what you see, and your identity — a cryptographic key pair — is yours forever. It's raw, it's free, and it rewards real interaction over passive scrolling.

If you're just getting started, our guide covers how keys and relays work, what clients to try, how zaps fit in, and what to do on day one.
